ProMax 3D Plus Rental USA
Planmeca · Dental Equipment · $40,000 – $85,000
Typical pricing - ProMax 3D Plus
ProMax 3D Plus - Key specifications
- 23x26cm FOV captures full maxilla-to-mandible in one shot; smaller competitor units like the i-CAT need repositioning, costing you 3–5 minutes per patient
- Cephalometric mode built in means no second X-ray device; that's $15–25K you don't spend on wall space or a ceph unit
- CBCT 3D imaging at 0.2mm voxel resolution - surgical cases and implant planning don't need a Cone Beam upgrade for 5+ years
- Planmeca's tube life typically 50,000 hours; replacement tube runs $8,500–12,000 installed, so check acquisition date on used units
ProMax 3D Plus price overview
A unit with fewer than 20,000 logged hours and a tube replaced within last 3 years lands in the $65–75K range. One with original tube at 35,000+ hours drops to $42–48K - factor in a $10K tube swap within 12 months.
Buyer's checklist for ProMax 3D Plus
Physically inspect the gantry rotation for grinding or binding - that's a $4–6K repair. Pull the service logs and confirm the last calibration date; if it's over 18 months old, walk or reduce offer by $3K. Run test scans and check image artifacts in the reconstruction software - software glitches cost $2–5K to troubleshoot.
US Market overview
California clinics in Orange County and LA are snapping these up; newer PE money flowing into DSOs means used equipment supply is tight and prices hold firm. Texas has softer demand because Heartland Dental and Western Dental lease instead of buy.

ProMax 3D Plus - FAQ
Lease if you do fewer than 40 3D scans per month or you're under 3 years into the practice. Buy if you're doing 60+ scans/month - the math flips at month 48; after that you're throwing money away on lease payments. Heartland Dental locations lease because their corporate model turns equipment fast.
Annual service contract runs $2,500–4,000 for parts and labor. Tube replacement ($8,500–12,000) happens around 50,000 hours. Software updates are free from Planmeca. Budget $3–5K per year on average - not $800 like the distributor tells you.
Ask for voltage output logs and image noise metrics from the last service call. Tubes drop output gradually; if the technician notes stabilizer adjustments in the past year, the tube's on its way out. Declining image quality under low-dose protocols is the early warning sign.
